It's kind of astounding the length at which some of you guys dislike black folks. Pretty sad.

Personally, I didn't follow basketball at all. Grew up a hockey and football fan. The Thunder turned me into a basketball fan.

I will say, the Thunder completely killed hockey in OKC. Did everything they could to eliminate the AHL team across the street. They gave their G-league team prime weekend dates over the hockey team. I think the Blue basketball team pulled about 200 fans a game. Ridiculous.

In OKC, you pretty much have to be a basketball fan since they pretty much own the city at this point.

They also did a great job of hurting the local film scene by tearing down Prairie Surf Studios (future location of the new arena). They were shooting some fantastic projects in OKC like Tulsa King, Twisters, Stillwater, and a few others but that's pretty much stopped and shifted to the Tulsa area.

Back when people were expected to work for a living, no handouts, and no third-worlders.

Amazing how well that model worked.

You don't think people from third-world countries work hard? Do you work from home or something? They're some of the hardest working people I've come across in America.

So I have no problem being seen by an Indian doctor.

I used to date an East Indian chick from Missouri that had a PhD and was high up at the local state health department. Her parents had emigrated to the United States when her mother was recruited out of nursing school during the nursing shortage in the 70's. They only hired the top 5% of graduates. She was an RN in Oklahoma for 32 years. Very nice people.

Anyway, we were sitting around one night and they were sharing stories about the racist crap they had to deal with in the medical field in Oklahoma.

The mother said that she would occasionally get the 'I want an AMERICAN NURSE!' crap from an older patient. She always had to accept it but would occasionally send over the least competent, rookie nurse to the room.

Sorry about that catheter issue, sir, but at least she has blond hair and blue eyes!! Ha!

Dude......I get it. I've been selling items from an old rent house lately. Fridge, sofas, Roku TV, etc. It can be frustrating. The best buyers are the Mexicans. They tend to show up no questions asked and pay cash. The Americans can be nightmares.

Having said that, it's sad to see people who need a good reliable car at an affordable price miss out on a deal. I work with low-income workers - single moms trying to pay the rent - that can use a good car. By the time someone finds a break between two jobs to look at a car, it's already been sold to a dealer or flipper who is going to add 4 grand on the price. It's hard for some people to get out of a hole.
